Did this movie leave a bad taste in anyone’s else’s mouth?
Felt like the writers had a shit eating grin while scribbling fast paced dialogue and quips about a time in history where millions died in shitty ways. And everyone has a fucking British accent, oh and burning buddy at the end and having a big laugh about that.
I loved this movie tbqh. It was hilarious and based. Who cares if people died, does that mean we can't joke about it? Besides the movie wasn't about dekulakization or anything it was just about the batshit politics of the higher levels of the communist party.

Zhukov was a meme and terrible commander, Rokossovsky was based
I have a useless ma in Russian history and this movie triggered my autism
>Molotov wasn't the Foreign Minister in 1953, it was Andrei Vyshinsky. Molotov was Deputy Premier
>Malenkov wasn't "Stalin's deputy", he was also a deputy premier. The position of 2nd secretary was vacant since Andrei Zhdanov's death. Moreover Malenkov wasn't weak about Beria as portrayed in the movie, he pressed the button without any issues
>Beria was not head of the NKVD in 1953, nor did the NKVD even exist in 1953. It was split between the MVD (headed by Sergei Kruglov, a Beria rival) and MGB (headed by Semyon Ignatyev, another Beria rival).
>Zhukov was not head of the soviet army in 1953. The defense minister was Bulganin and the chief of staff was Vasily Sokolovsky. Zhukov at the time was the chief of the minor Ural Military district because Stalin hated his popularity
>The movie condenses many months into a few days. Beria was not disposed of during Stalin's funeral, he attended and gave a speech. He was removed many months later, and the politburo used the East German Uprising (not the deaths of funeral goers) against him
>There were no mass executions of staff at Stalin's dacha of Kuntsevo in the aftermath of his death. The only state employees who died during the whole affair were Beria & his minions
>No Politburo member or even Zhukov were present at the time of Beria's executions, they were hundreds of kilometers away >Absence of several prominent Politburo members like Andreyev and Voroshilov
>Brezhnev smirking at Khruschev at the end was dumb, he had no aspirations for power in 1953 and even in 1964 was essentially pushed into it by the likes of Mikhail Suslov and KGB head Vladimir Semichastny
Glad i didnt know enough about it to get triggered by this tbqh.

In response to the issue of historical accuracy, director Armando Lannucci said, "I’m not saying it’s a documentary. It is a fiction, but it’s a fiction inspired by the truth of what it must have felt like at the time. My aim is for the audience feel the sort of low-level anxiety that people must have [experienced] when they just went about their daily lives at the time."

When's the last time they even fought a war? Do they not realize how goofy that looks when it's obvious they haven't done anything to earn it?
Isaac Wright
Apart from all that did you enjoy it?
Aaron Wood
Post more medals! My medals folder got lost when I wiped my drive due to my mom seeing me masturbate to furry dick drawings.
Isaac Powell

Jeremiah Cox
is that border connected to a fringe russian political organization?
Jonathan Watson

Grayson Rivera

Jayden Evans
>have a useless ma in Russian history Why?

But you wouldn't really know, would you?
Still, pretty interesting stuff user, thank you for sharing

Its almost as if it is a comedy

"Dark humor" is dead. God help us all if this is the kind of stupid fucking shit people say now.

Don't you dare besmirch the history of the glorious socialist republic... Now salute or you'll be shot.

North Korean advisors did fight for the Arabs in the 1973 war tho and got btfo by Israelis
Kayden Cooper
yes
No
I'm dumb and had enabling rich jew parents
I mean when researching these things, the fact there's no evidence is usually the conclusion for "didn't happen". You can speculate though, yes
Joshua Rivera
those guys probably actually fought though. im assuming theyre korean war vets.
Bentley Cruz
>No damn that sucks, if you you have rich jews for parents and don't have to worry about money, just write a book or something,
Owen Allen
The Korean war ended in 53. If you assume they were at least 16 at the time, they'd be 82 now. There's now way those guys are over 80 years old.
Ayden Roberts
who knows, if it's any good it might end up on my shelf
Ian Foster
the picture might not be from yesterday
Austin Gray
shit I'm retarded
Hunter Bell
What do you mean, its from general Hu Wu's Facebook profile.
Evan Edwards
snopes says the photoshopped version has been circulating since 2007 so those guys could be Korean war vets, or maybe were involved in Afghanistan or some shit
Isaiah Nguyen
>oh and burning buddy at the end and having a big laugh about that
They actually burned Beria after he was executed though

Lady butterfly took me 50+ Tries but I killed that horse rider on second try what the fuck.

LB was meant for later in the game, most people were too keen on exploring and ran into her earlier than intended. She’s not bad at all with 12 or 13 attack power- it’s just that throwing some scrub with no idea of the mechanics into a semi-demanding fight certainly won’t end well. If you don’t know how to deflect and close distance the fight will be ten times as hard as it should be.
